I believe it is rude not to acknowledge an email you receive from another person. I try to. Even if you are not interested, just say "Thanks for your note, but I'm not available." Even people over 50 act like they never learned any manners. Grow up and show some integrity!

I have learned from trying out other online dating sites, that there are quite a few men out there who are "game-players" (into emotional head games, that is). Where are the men who are honest, trustworthy, emotionally available, and who have real integrity? I am the type of woman who wants to be with a gentleman who will love and accept me for who I am and will treat me with genuine respect and consideration. I will definitely extend that same courtesy.
